I agree on this. The 2.1 will give you better audio if you need it. It will, as a roofing filter, perform just as well in a heavy ssb contest as a 1.8 . 73 Arie PA3A -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] Namens Ignacy

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Beta firmware rev 2.78

So we have 2.78 and yes I'm happy with the improvements of the software. There are a few categories of software-updates: 1. bug fixes (nothing to cheer about, the bugs should not have been there, way to go Elecraft how quick you fix those bugs) 2. nice to haves (indeed nice: my callsign

Re: [Elecraft] K3 feature request

No PTT when tuning so it won't key the amp. Put it in the menu to switch the PTT on or off? Come on guys, why put this in the K3 or in any transceiver? I really really don't understand why. If you are using an amp, set the amp to standby. The K3 signal will go straight through. That's what it's

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Notch control

Well, Mike wrote: The auto notch takes them all out after a few seconds thinking. After a few seconds of thinking.the K3 notch takes the tones out. That is also my experience. Just for comparison: the auto notch of my old 1996 MP (wow DSP!! in those days) is much faster than the one of

Re: [Elecraft] Notch control

YES, Ian, YES! I support your idea and when thinking of itanother one about the Notch controls. The situation now is, that when the manual notch is switched on, and the notch freq is on the VFO B display, I cannot move the VFO A!! I first have to tap the DISP button or the Notch again. In

RE: [Elecraft] KRX3 Inventory Question: Foam Pads

Jeff, I had the same. I cut the strip in two, lengthwise -- et presto - two strips. 73 Arie PA3A --- What I have instead is an envelope labeled as E980148, which contains one foam strip. Am I headed for a delay, or is only one pad required? 73, Jeff K8ND

[Elecraft] Sub and Main receiver audio

Since the audio of MAIN and SUB was mentioned in the DVR thread, a sperate discussion. The way the audio from MAIN and SUB comes to your ears has been discussed before, but here's one. How about this solution. 1. Suppose the audio is in the balance mode. Sub-pot in the middle

[Elecraft] K3 AFX

During the CQWW CW we used my K3 at PI4D and tried out the AFX. Very nice feature when the frequency is as crowded as in the CQWW. Pity the sidetone (monitor) is normal mono. I suggest that if AFX is enabled the monitor audio is also in AFX-sound so you can stay 'in flow. 73 Arie PA3A

[Elecraft] K3 changing RX filter during transmit

During CQWW CW we fiddled with the K3 filter settings a lot. Both Ad PA8AD and I repeatedly wanted to change the filter setting during the last transmission of the QSO (the TU PI4D), anticipating the next QSO. During transmission the RX filter controls are locked. So, can the filter controls

[Elecraft] K3 RX AGC right after a transmission

During the CQWW CW we found that RIGHT AFTER a transmission the RX AGC was STILL busy doing its job and getting back to a lower level (s-meter dropping from about s9 to the band noise level) (AGC was at slow). We SUSPECT that the AGC was still at the level from BEFORE the transmission. So

I agree on the observation of the NR. Up till now I have not been able to find a setting that gives me a real improvement. The NB is very good, but I find the NR disappointing. Any advice from list members is appriciated, or is the solution in improving the NR algorithms? Arie PA3A

RE: [Elecraft] K3: listening to both rcvrs

All, Cross-over audio between the Main and Sub receiver is part of the menu in a FT1000MP from 1996. (as a lot of you people probably know) You can choose it in the menu how you want the audio: seperate, mono-mixed or bit of stereo cross-over. Absolutely wonderful. There have been several other
